The lovely, old Cameo Cinema at Tollcross, which I had loved since my student days in the Long Ago.
I do like that they have retained the marquee, where the names of the current films are displayed. When I was a kid, most cinemas had a version of this, but these days most cinemas are multiplexes, so that's something that's gone, save for older cinemas like this.
I also find that feature kind of nice when I look back at older photos I've taken of the cinema over the years, because you can clearly see whatever was screening at the time I took it, so they are little time capsules.
Handheld night shot on the walk home, grabbed quickly because there is a bus stop directly outside the cinema, and I had to step back onto the road to grab this angle, then quickly back to the pavement before the traffic started again
There is no other place to buy a milk shake in Ocean City, MD. Oh, Dumser's has other locations around town, but this is the only one where I'll get a shake.
Since all of these gals minus Vixen are official or have been shown I'm not gonna go into detail.

Ever since I started making Indiana Jones customs, I've wanted to make Henry Jones Sr.
I'm really happy how he turned out!
The Grail diary, is made out of a Lego bar piece that I cut and sculpted around with procreate, with a piece of Etape over the top.
The suitcases is made from a Lego suitcase, I cut the top off and carved it out to fit a Lego umbrella, glued it in place. I used a Lego bar for the handle attaching it with procreate, the straps are just made from electrical tape.
The hat is made out of procreate with a strip of electrical tape for the hat band.
I designed the face off of Legos Henry Jones. I don't remember what head I used I think it was Mary or Pippin from The Lord of the Rings sets. Everything on the face is painted except the eyes.
Credit to TheMooseFigs and DaLastPrime for helping me design the beard.
The suit jacket is made from a CapeMadness trench coat that I modified by cutting it to size and adding 3D pockets.
The vest on the inside of the torso is made from a piece of CapeMadness fabric.
The bow tie is made from electrical tape.
And everything was painted by me.
So let me know what you think!
Since we still have snow on the ground, I had to buy mine.

Since its completion in 1933, the U.S. Post Office and Courthouse has been an important landmark in Alexandria, the county seat of Rapides Parish, Louisiana. Designed by Shreveport architect Edward F. Neild, under the supervision of the Office of the Supervising Architect of the Treasury Department, the building is an excellent example of Depression-era Art Deco architecture. It was not only designed to serve a federal function but to express the permanence and presence of the federal government in the cities and communities in which the buildings were being constructed. However, the construction of the Alexandria U.S. Post Office and Courthouse in 1932-1933 was not simply a reflection of the growing needs of a city or federal court. As one of more than 1,300 public buildings built under the auspices of the Office of the Supervising Architect of the Treasury Department during the early 1930's, the Alexandria building was an example of the government's use of federal construction projects to stimulate employment during the Depression. From 1926 to 1931, a series of legislation was enacted that culminated into this massive public building program. The Public Buildings Act of 1926 served as the catalyst, authorizing the construction of a number of buildings in communities previously without federal buildings. In 1928, appropriations allotted under the 1926 act were increased in response to U.S. Post Office and Department of the Treasury reports indicating a need for more space. As the effects of the Depression began to be felt all over the country, the government released additional funds in 1930 and 1931 for public building projects. During 1931, the Federal Employment Stabilization Act was passed to further stimulate the economy. This act permitted the president and congress to authorize additional appropriations for construction projects in order to facilitate employment. The 1930 and 1931 appropriations, coupled with the Federal Stabilization Act, were reflective of how the government used public works projects to combat the early years of the economic depression.
On May 18, 2000, the U.S. Post Office & Courthouse in Alexandria, LA was found to be eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places for its association with the federal construction programs designed to relieve the economic emergency of the Depression years (criteria A) and as an excellent example Art Deco architecture (criteria C) used in the design of public buildings during the 1930's. All of the information above (and much more) was found on the original documents submitted for listing consideration with the National Register and can be viewed here:

Since I moved here over 5 years ago, I've wished for a sunset to happen at a time when I'd have my camera ready to capture it. It finally happened and here is the result..... 4 images, hand blended very carefully to try to keep it natural to the eye.
Have a most excellent day & weekend.
Since I have been on a rather slow start on my Titans series I've decided to promote it a bit, and what better way than showing the full cast of the titans, I'm sure you know who they all are, but from left to right (Changeling, Starfire, Kid Flash, Tempest, Wonder Girl, Terra, and Raven) those last two haven't been featured yet but soon enough they'll appear, while my original wishes were to have Arsenal, and Nightwing in it, but Arsenal is kind of in a limbo state where Filmgr owns the rights to him, but isn't active, I figured I would have been able to use him since this series does take place one year before Red Hood and the Outlaws, and as for Nightwing, I had asked to use him almost two weeks ago, but never got a response. Ignore the whining from the last sentence, I hope you enjoy these figures, and are excited for more Titans issues, have a good day.
Ever since moving to Adelaide people who follow my photography have said "you have to go to Mannum Falls" for a look. So last night Scooby and I made the treck to Mannum.
What an amazing place. Not only was I lucky enough to catch some water, but I had a few hours to play before the cloud came rolling in.
I love south Australia and the incredible variety of place I get to play.
I hope you have a fun weekend!
Peace

Since the derailment at Sheffield station the South Yorkshire RHTT has operating a revised diagram , although the Tuesday / Thursday Saturday part is booked to go into Sheffield in the early part it rarely does reversing at Mill Race Jct instead .
Passing through Meadowhall Interchange are 37419 and 37402 working a 3Z12 0656 Brightside up/down Slow - Woodburn Jct , part of which would see the tractors visit the Deepcar branch for the first time since the last Saturday of 2018 when 20's worked the RHTT .

Good morning everyone. Since it's officially now Archtober I thought it be appropriate to post a series featuring a spider for today. In this case being the Banded Argiope (Argiope trifasciata), a very common spider here locally that comes into it's own during late Summer - early Fall. They actually hatch and mature in early summer, but stay mainly out of sight until they are big enough to build their signature webs.
While it seems to be a banner year for these Banded Argiopes, once again I have yet to see a single Black & Yellow Argiope, which makes it the fifth year that I haven't. Very odd since in the past I would see at least as many Black & Yellows as Banded Argiopes. Sometimes more. One other observation, it's also a banner year for grasshoppers. My guess is the two go hand in hand. More grasshoppers...more Argiopes, of which grasshoppers are the most common prey seen in these spider's webs.
As for these photos, the first three (including the above) are of the same female taken at the reclaimed strip mine this past weekend. A ventral view above, and a dorsal and side view in the comment section and my stream. I also added one pic of a different Banded Argiope to show the stabilimenta these spiders sometimes add to their web. What I really like about these photos is how well defined the web turned out...especially in the above pic. Which most likely had a lot to do with these pics being taken on an overcast day...and no flash was used.
As always, don't forget to click on "view previous comments" if you don't see the two additional photos in the comment section. Even better, scroll to them by clicking on the arrow thingy to the right of the above pic. And if you want to view the pic in the comment section large all you have to do is click on it where you'll also find the full text describing this pretty spider.
Thank you for stopping by...and I hope you have a truly great first day of Archtober.

After 4 hours since leaving the crew change point in Chattanooga. The hot NS 223 (Kansas City,MO-Atlanta,GA) has finally come to stop just south of the summit of Braswell Mountain (MP-109.8 Braswell). We're about 1,161ft above sea level and snow and ice from winter storm Benji is still lingering. Portion of this section of Railroad was still shutdown due to the down trees making rail-traffic a little difficult to pass properly. As of know the dispatcher has a taxi order for the crew of NS 223 which will be awhile before they can get to the crew.
It had been ages since I caught a sunset here. It's such an interesting angle of the city. I really love it. Recently, I got the new Canon 70-200mm F/2.8 III and it has really opened up a lot of compositions for me. I almost had to relearn composition with using it. I have always been so partial to the wide angle get everything into the shot stuff. This is different and I am really liking it. Top class, as with all of the L series Canon lenses. Now, it's time to get in the air again and really see what it can do.
Since the banning of DDT and the work of conservationists building nesting platforms the Osprey has mad a comeback in Eastern Ontario.
Large, mostly white raptor that cruises over lakes, rivers, and coastal waterways in search of fish. Impressively widespread: found on every continent except Antarctica. Mostly white head and underparts; dark brown back. In flight, holds wings with a kink in the wrist (shaped like an "M"). Stick nests are conspicuous on top of channel markers, utility poles and high platforms near water. Often seen plunging feet-first into water from high in the air to grab fish.
Studies suggest that 50% of young osprey die in their first year.

Since it is FebRovery time and I see so many great rover builds around, there is one rover I wanted to build myself for a very long time. I loved the book and also the fantastic production design of the movie. So here is my quick take on Ares 3 Rover from The Martian!
Since she could not bake me Christmas cookies for the Holidays, my mother decided to tear apart her old sweater and turn it into a small snowman just to make me smile and bring herself to me, because I do not live in my country anymore so...! She just uses her heart to form unique small things that you just cannot find anywhere in the world!
This picture is taken specially for the Macro Mondays theme: "cloth" and I hope that my little re-knitted, from an old cloth, snowman will be perfect for the theme.
Thank you !

Since my last visit, The White Lion at Niton has received a makeover, although sadly gaining the boring and awful look that many pubs seem to gained over the last year or so. Stop painting on walls, and bring back proper pub signs! Nice sky though!

Since the nut-tree poles are fairly high and very slippery, a single climber would have almost no chance of reaching the top, so contestants usually work together and split the rewards, if they succeed. Prizes consist of foods, like cheese, sugar, flour, and clothes.

Ever since news broke that the Western New York & Pennsylvania Railroad would be replacing their fleet of six axle MLW's with secondhand GE AC6000's, an invasion of railfans has descended on the line to document the final summer for these locomotives. As the OL-3 Driftwood turn accelerates out of Port Allegany, at least 35 railfans were following the train south.

Kunming, the capital of Yunnan Province, enjoys great fame among tourists not only because the region features a consistently warm climate, but also thanks to its wonderful vistas and landscapes. Among the most dramatic of these attractions is the Stone Forest (Shilin), known since the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644 A.D.) as the 'First Wonder of the World.'
The Stone Forest is in Lunan Yi Nationality Autonomous County, which is about 120 kilometers (75 miles) from Kunming and requires only a three-hour drive. It covers an area of 400 square kilometers (96,000 acres) and includes both large and small stone forests, as well as many other scenic spots. An old local saying says that 'If you have visited Kunming without seeing the Stone Forest, you have wasted your time.' Truly, the Stone Forest is one of the most important attractions of Yunnan.
Walking through the Stone Forest, visitors marvel at the natural stone masterpieces and are bewitched by the intricate formations.

Since the lines re-opening one of the " jewel " pictures was that of a train crossing the River Dee, especially so in early spring and the autumn months. For a number of weeks 60103 Flying Scotsman visited the line and was used extensively on driver training runs which were outside of the normal operating trains.
FS crosses the Dee Bridge with a lightly loaded training run on a sunny spring day.
Access to the location was by a unauthorised walk across the tracks and through a gate down to the River bank, in recent times the land has been sold or leased to another party and is now (legally) out of bounds for photography which is a great pity.
A locally favoured drinking hole for over a century, the Tathra Hotel has been attracting custom from much further afield in recent years, especially with its modern interior eatery. NSW Far South Coast.

Since moving to central Washington, I've been exploring the three national parks in this state ... actually, 3 national parks and 2 national recreation areas, since the North Cascades Complex consists of North Cascades National Park, Lake Chelan National Recreation Area, and Ross Lake National Recreation Area.
This image was captured at the border between North Cascades National Park and Lake Chelan National Recreation Area. The aquamarine water of the Stehekin River flows clear and cold into the northern tip of Lake Chelan, at the small community of Stehekin.
I had already photographed several "silky water" shots from different vantage points, and decided to get a more "regular" water flow shot, here.
I spent 3 days in Stehekin and have written an article about my stay that will be published next week in the National Parks Traveler (www.nationalparkstraveler.org).

It's been 2.5 years since I first visited this place, and as for the trolley graveyard I'm trying to shoot a four season for the beetle's graveyard.
I also took some film shots this time, so I'll post my film shot side by side with the digital.
